This is the story of my nontraditional transformation from a Physics/Spanish/Chemistry/Math grad into a physician. I'm a proud member of the class of 2016 at Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine. The blog title will be edited to reflect the current stage of my transformation: Pre-Medical, Medical, Residential, then Doctoral. Read more about me in the My Story tab below. Enjoy!

Hobbes Comes Home - Puppy Pictures!

I gave his middle name as Newton after Isaac Newton, who was such a baller that at age 17 he developed the mathematics used to plot lunar lander trajectories 242 years after his death (and a bunch of other cool stuff).

Hobbes is a 5-week old Golden Retriever puppy and .: is the cutest thing currently alive on Earth.

Intimidated Hobbes meets Naiya, who now lives with my mom and stepdad.

Cuddly Hobbes sleeps by Naiya.

Dead-To-The-World Hobbes

Reclusive Hobbes doesn't wanna play after his long day.

A drink of water would not be amiss, though.

And now, Hobbes is asleep in a packing crate with his stuffed octopus, as apparently that is cozier than the crate that we set up for him... Go figure. Stay tuned for more awesomely cute Hobbes pics and vids as he joins us for My Medical Transformation! Also, this week we went camping and it was great - more on that later...
